Tomorrow's playoff ticket presale

[MDK02]

it says on the website by 11:59PM.. I dont think they made a mistake, I think its accurate

[MDK02]

Doesn't make sense...the lottery presales would have to be before the general public on staurday....must be tonight. The orioles could have communicated this much better

So yeah tonight/tomorrow would make sense, that would be before the general pub

You should still try to get tickets on Saturday. If you can't make the game that you got tickets for, then turn around and sell them yourself on stubhub.

I have not read through the whole thread yet but instead of scalping them on stubhub (and selling to a possible fan of the other team), you should sell them on here for face to a known O's fan. It's the right thing to do.

If they don't sell out. Not too many seats left! Wow.

That is the downfall of living too far from the home park. I can always check stub hub, since my wife said she will buy if the O's make the post season :thumbsup1:

There is already not many left?! I am in the 2PM group, and was hoping there was decent picking at least right at 2PM.

Is it slim pickings only in certain areas, with more available in more expensive seats? Or slim everywhere?

Yeah, it'd be nice to get a general idea of what's left so I know what sections to bother clicking on @ 2pm.

Had a conference call started with the 4 other plan holders in my group to coordinate buying in the same section. We were able to get what we wanted for the most part ($50 tix in 80-84), but the bleachers looked essentially gone and most of the lower bowl was also gone by the time 10:30 rolled around.

for all of the games?

I have no way of knowing if this is true, but I think it's possible that they're not making all of the seats available at the same time. How can they have a pre-sale to the lottery winners tomorrow, then a public sale on Saturday, if they're basically sold out by 2 p.m. today? That would be a PR nightmare. The O's don't need any more of those. They don't want to squander what goodwill this season has earned them.

[MDK02]

Is there a limit to what you can purchase? I don't want brokers to go in and buy everything

4 tickets per game.

I agree. It would be quite ridiculous if they sold out by 2 pm today after announcing a public sale on Saturday. The season ticket holders most certainly should have first shot at the tickets but that would mean someone in the warehouse vastly underestimated the demand for these tickets.

Yep. There must be some kind of algorithm that tells them approximately how many of these seats will be purchased by season ticket holders if they allow them to buy x number of tickets per game. They simply have to have some left for the general public after these pre-sales. I talked to my ticket rep the other day and I said, "How many people do you have left in your office who were there in '97?" He said one or two. He said it's crazy in there and that they're very understaffed, and that MLB is helping them. MLB must have given them parameters with which to work.

12 minutes to post time.

any insight as to best available remaining?

are the 100 dollar tickets a waste of time to look for?
